Deciding between studio or outdoor maternity photos

May 19, 2026 by Jackie

Deciding between studio or outdoor maternity photos is a lot easier when you do not actually have to choose just one. With me, you can do your studio photos as well as make use of the grassfield and greenhouse on site, which gives you beautiful variety without having to drive around to multiple locations looking for the perfect spot while pregnant and already over life.

The studio gives you that clean, soft, timeless look with no weather stress, no wind, and no worrying about whether your toddler is about to vanish into the distance. Then the grassfield adds that lovely open, natural feel, especially if you want a bit more warmth and movement in your gallery. The greenhouse gives you something a little different again – soft light, texture, and an organic feel without needing to depend on sunset or perfect weather.

It is such a lovely option because you get different looks in one session while still keeping the whole thing easy. So if you have been stuck wondering whether studio or outdoor is better, the answer is happily both.

Best Maternity Photoshoot Locations in Pretoria, Johannesburg & Centurion

When you’re pregnant, everything feels like a mission. Deciding what to eat? A mission. Finding shoes that don’t feel like medieval torture devices? A mission. So when it comes to maternity photos, the last thing you need is another exhausting decision. That’s why where we shoot matters-it sets the mood, keeps things simple, and makes the whole experience feel like an actual treat instead of a task.

Studio Sessions
Think calm, controlled, and zero surprises. In studio, the lighting behaves, the aircon works, and you don’t have to worry about Pretoria’s famous four-seasons-in-a-day weather ruining your hair. My studio wardrobe is ready to go, so you don’t have to buy or iron anything. It’s the easiest option if you want styled, relaxed images without lifting a finger.

The Greenhouse
This one is for moms who love a natural, airy feel but don’t want to risk mud, rain, or mosquitoes plotting against them. The greenhouse is flooded with soft light all year round, and it’s weather-proof without feeling like we’re trapped inside. It has that organic, outdoorsy vibe-without any of the “I should have packed bug spray” regrets.

Grassfield Sessions
If you’re craving wide open skies and the kind of backdrop that never goes out of style, the field is your friend. These sessions have that soft, romantic glow (thank you, late afternoon light) and feel relaxed and expansive. Plus, toddlers usually have more fun here because they can run around instead of being told to sit still.

How to Choose
Your comfort comes first. If you’re 36 weeks and walking from the car feels like a marathon, studio or greenhouse will feel easier. If you’re bringing little ones, think about where they’ll be happiest-and let’s be real, a toddler in a field usually wins over a toddler cooped up. Some moms love a mix of variety, while others prefer to keep things as straightforward as possible.

The good news? You don’t always have to choose. My maternity sessions often include a bonus second location-either the greenhouse or the grassfield-so you get the best of both worlds without the extra effort.
